During The Victorian Era - 1,688 words
During The Victorian Era Characteristics During
the Victorian Era When imagining the Victorian
Age, royalty, fancy lifestyles, and elaborate
living often come to mind. However, during this
same era, other lifestyles and conditions of a
completely different nature were occurring. Many
of the English people lived in poverty. Charles
Dickens, one of the great writers of this period,
described how it was to live during the Victorian
Era. Although England grew from an agricultural to
an industrial society, not all citizens benefited
from this change. In addition, the undesirable
health and medical environment plagued both the
wealthy and the poor. Charles Dickens was a
profound British writer who ...

Francisco Jos Goya Y Lucientes - 1,216 words
Francisco Jos Goya y Lucientes Born on March 30,
1746, in Aragon province of Spain. The reason for
this mans two last names is that it is a Spanish
custom to take on both parents last names to make
a combination for their own, his fathers last name
was Goya and his mothers, Lucientes, but he is
most widely known by the name Goya. He lived in a
very common family of the time, he worked as a
gilder for a short while with his father in the
town he was born in, Fuendetodos. But due to the
economical needs of his family, Goya was sent to
the fields and he suffered through long days of
manual labor to make ends meet. In Goyas

Goya - 548 words
Goya Francisco Jose de Goya y Lucientes was born
on March 30, 1746, in Fuendetodos, a village in
northern Spain. The family later moved to
Saragossa, where Goya's father worked as a gilder.
At fourteen years old, Goya was apprenticed to
Jose Luzan, a local painter. Later he went to
Italy to continue his study of art. On returning
to Saragossa in 1771, he painted frescoes for the
local cathedral. These works, done in the
decorative rococo tradition, established Goya's
artistic reputation. In 1773 he married Josefa
Bayeu, sister of Saragossa artist Francisco Bayeu.
The couple had many children, but only one--a son,
Xavier--survived to adulthood. From 1775 to 1792
Goya painted cartoons (designs ...

Homer Winslow And Jules Breton - 1,719 words
Homer Winslow And Jules Breton Homer Winslow and
Jules Breton, two men painting the canvas of the
nineteenth century. Comparing their art gives
birth to numerous differences and unique qualities
hidden within their work and lives. Dressing For
The Carnival, Homer 1877, and The Weeders, Breton
1868, are fine examples of their careers as
artists. Beyond the aesthetic merits of his work,
Breton is significant as the painter whose vision
of French rural life best embodies a set of late
nineteenth- century ideals: the charm and
wholesomeness of rustic ways, the nobility of
living close to the soil, the beauty of
preindustrial landscape, and the social harmony of
the agrarian community. ( Sturges) ...

John Constable - 1,673 words
John Constable What made Constable different from
the majority of his contemporaries was his
attitude towards the things that he saw. He was
not, like so many other landscape artists, a
conscious seeker of the picturesque. As an artist
he was virtually self-taught and his periods of
formal study amounted to little more than process
of directive discipline. His real master was his
own sensitive and perceptive eye (Peacock, 15). It
was through a study of nature rather than by a
study of academic principles that his artistic
philosophy was evolved. It was at East Bergholt on
the Suffolk side of the river Stour on 11 June
1776 that artist John Constable was born. The
house where John was born is ...

Life Of Picasso - 1,074 words
Life Of Picasso Art represents beauty. It
represents the soul and spirit of the artist. It's
a form of communication that the artist can use as
a substitution for words. Art has flourished the
world for thousands of years and it has no
intentions on stopping. One of the most important
figure's in modern art (Selfridge, 15) is a man by
the name of Pablo Picasso. He has taken the world
into many places and has enabled us to see many
abstract creations through his artwork alone.
(Selfridge, 20) Born on October 25, 1881, Picasso
was a miracle right from the start. There were
complications with birth and everyone was sure
that he wasn't going to make it, but then

the Nazi party began to take over. The Germans
harassed Picasso by taking his paintings and
damaging some of them pretty badly. The Nazi party
prohibited the work of Picasso to be exhibited
anywhere. Things didn't get any better for Picasso
for a while, and he had to see a number of friends
incarcerated. (Galwitz, 153) Paris was finally
free from the harassment when it was liberated
from the Germans. About a month after this
happened, Picasso joined the Communist party. He

had not been for the presence of his uncle, Dr.

my opinion looks like a dream. The art work has a
certain disoriented charm. It has mainly all dark
colors and uses these dark colors to contrast with
the light skin pigment of the people in the
painting. The painting has a calm erotic nude lady
sleeping on a very formal looking couch or day
bed. If the picture is read as this ladies dream
then it appears as if she were dreaming of death
or something of a cult like manner. If it is
indeed death she is dreaming of then she is
symbolizing that death is very calm and relaxed,

William Blake And Romanticism - 691 words
William Blake And Romanticism William Blake lived
from 1757-1827. He based most of his works in the
style of Romanticism. Much like William
Wordsworth, Blake wrote from the heart, letting
natural expression take over. Many of the writers
of the Romantic period felt they had entered an
imaginative climate, which some of them called
"the Spirit Age." During this "Spirit Age," many
authors felt that freedom and spontaneity were the
key elements in poetry. Before this creative
revolution, a poem was considered a classical work
of art, assimilated to please an audience. In
Romanticism, the "rules" hanging over poetry were
dropped and a piece of work could become, as Blake
described, "an embodimen ...

William Turner - 462 words
William Turner One of the finest landscape artists
was J.M.W. Turner, whose work was exhibited when
he was still a teenager. His entire life was
devoted to his art. Unlike many artists of his
era, he was successful throughout his career.
Joseph Mallord William Turner was born in London,
England, on April 23, 1775. His father was a
barber. His mother died when he was very young.
The boy received little schooling. His father
taught him how to read, but this was the extent of
his education except for the study of art. By the
age of 13 he was making drawings at home and
exhibiting them in his father's shop window for
sale. Turner was 15 years old when he received a
rare honor--one of his paintin ...
